Saint Louis In Tune

Dr. Martin Bergee from the University of Kansas initially believed that when you accounted for all of the demographic variables, the relationship between music and reading and math would be nonexistent. He was surprised when he found out he was wrong and music achievement does have a statistically significant relationship with both reading and math acheivement. The study is entitled, “Multilevel Models of the Relationship Between Music Achievement and Reading and Math Achievement,” and was published in the Journal of Research in Music Education.

James Meredith has stood up to fear, hatred, and white supremacy his entire life. While growing up in Mississippi, he faced challenges head on which would begin to change that state and the nation. These challenges (being the first black student at the University of Mississippi, his March Against Fear in which he was shot), provided a platform to encourage Mississippians to stand up against oppression and live a moral life. Recently, St. Louis In Tune discussed his life and book A Mission from God: A Memoir and Challenge for America. He strives now to proclaim his faith and confidence in the source of his courage, the Bible and Jesus Christ. St. Louis In Tune is indebted to Mr. Meredith for his time to complete this interview. https://www.jamesmeredithonline.com/

Covid-19 has brought about daily discussions about virtual learning, hybrid learning, remote learning, blended learning, etc. What is working and what isn't working depends on many factors including resources (access/reliability of technology, personnel). Have we lost our social connections in all of this and is virtual learning here to stay post pandemic? Listen and find out as Dr. Jason Adams discusses these issues with St. Louis In Tune.

Question: What crosses five state lines, cuts across the Mississippi River in three places, and the Ohio River in two places? Answer: The New Madrid fault. In 1811/1812 three main shocks estimated at magnitudes 7.7, 7.5, and 7.7 were felt as far away as the Gulf Coast, East Coast, and Quebec. The quakes were felt over an area of approximately 1,900,000 square miles with the strongest shaking being approximately 10 times that of the Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Are we prepared? Are you prepared? Jeff Briggs, earthquake program manager for the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency gives us tips to be ready.
